The cross-eye method is a way to see two pictures as one 3d picture. It requires the two pictures to be side-by-side and taken from two different points corrensponding to your two eyes. Then you cross your eyes and boom, 3d picture in your face. The process is illustrated by the gif below.

You can try it out on this nice stereoscopic picture I made in 2025. Use the "cross-eye method". Tutorials below.
If you haven't used the cross-eye method before, then there are plenty of tutorials to help you get started. A few suggestions:
Making your own stereoscopic pictures
As it turns out, it's fairly easy to make your own 3d pictures with nothing but the camera on your phone. Simply do as follows:
- Find a good, static motive for your picture. The picture will be easier to view in 3d if taken in portrait.
- Take the first picture.
- Then take a very small step to the right, still pointing the camera forward as before.
- Take the second picture.
- Done.
Then all you have to do is place the pictures side by side. You can print them out, or you can add them next to each other using Microsoft Paint or some other piece of software. Make sure that the picture for the right eye is on the left, and vice versa.
